4 Put in the best pieces of meat —the shoulders and the legs —fill it with choice bony pieces too.
5 Use the meat of the finest sheep;pile the wood under the pot.Let the water boil;boil the bones and the meat.”
6 This is what the Sovereign Lord is saying: “The city of murderers is doomed! It is like a corroded pot that is never cleaned. Piece after piece of meat is taken out, and not one is left.
7 There was murder in the city, but the blood was not spilt on the ground where the dust could hide it; it was spilt on a bare rock.
8 I have left the blood there, where it cannot be hidden, where it demands angry revenge.”
9 This is what the Sovereign Lord is saying: “The city of murderers is doomed! I myself will pile up the firewood.
10 Bring more wood! Fan the flames! Cook the meat! Boil away the broth! Burn up the bones!
